Windtech Consultants

Highly Engaged Employees

WINDTECH Consultants was established in 1991 offering advanced wind engineering services, primarily in the study of wind effects on large structures, faade cladding as well as environmental wind effects. Since that time, the company has provided wind engineering and related high technology services for over 2,500 major building projects, assisting... planners and building design professionals. Since 1996, WINDTECH Consultants has also provided services relating to Environmentally Sustainable Development (natural ventilation, thermal load assessments, solar glare, daylight, shadow studies, NCC DTS compliance for energy efficiency, just to mention a few). Wind loading is becoming an increasing important factor in the viability of large building projects due to the increasing trend towards taller, larger and lighter structures. The move towards more efficient design for wind loading, achieved through site specific modelling using wind tunnel testing generally results in significant savings in the cost of the facade and the structure in comparison with the use of estimates from wind loading standards. WINDTECH Consultants is one of the world's leading Wind Engineering laboratories. Analysis techniques developed by WINDTECH Consultants over the past few years place the company at the forefront of its field in the analysis of the effect of wind on the most complex structures. This has been possible through WINDTECH Consultants' policy of continual research and development and improvement. Windtech's head office in Sydney houses 3 large commercial wind tunnels, including a wind tunnel capable of testing bridge decks. Our faade pressure measurement system the world's most advanced, capable of handling over 1,000 simultaneous pressure sensors at unsurpassed sampling rates with very minimal phase lag. The company through its extensive experience and client focus, has become widely recognised as the go-to people for complex environmental design problems including remedial studies. Our experienced staff are highly trained ...Read More
